I found my breast cancer in August 2008, during a monthly self exam. I thought it was unusual, but that maybe it was just a clogged milk duct or something like that. But a few weeks later it was still there. So I went to my doctor. He couldn’t find it, I had to show him where it was. Both my OB and my surgeon told me that it is a good thing I had been doing the self exams and found it, they wouldn’t have on a yearly exam. I was only 35 years old at the time, so still too young for a mammogram. The OB sent me to have a mammogram, and the Dr. told me that day she suspected that it was cancer. So the next day I went and had a biopsy. My husband and I went to China 2 days later for vacation, but callled for the test results. Yes I had cancer. When we arrived home from China about a week later, the doctors had my surgery scheduled. I had my first surgery in October 2008. They removed the cancerous tissue and then found that the cancer had moved into my lymph nodes. I had 13 lymph nodes removed and still haven’t got all of my feeling back in my left arm. So after surgery, I was told I would have to go through chemotherapy and radiation. I begged them to start right away, but still had one more surgery to go through. The hardest part of all of this is that I had a 14 year old and a 3 year old child and we had been trying for 6 months prior to my finding my tumor to have one more child. That was never to be. My OB, 2 Oncologists, my general practioner and my surgeon all told me that it would be life threatening to have any more children, that it would be possible but that I would die within a few years of having that child. See my cancer was caused by crazy hormones and of course pregnancy would make them go wild again. So as sad as I was about it, we gave up that dream and during my second surgery when they installed the chemotherapy port, they tied my tubes. That was November of 2008. I started my chemotherapy 2 weeks after that surgery. The month of December 2008 I was battling various infections in my surgical sites. Seems that I didn’t heal wel enough before I started chemotherapy. But after a month of antibiotics that too passed. So I finally reached my final treatment day, March 4, 2009. I rang the bell, yeah I was done. Now can’t I have this port removed from my chest? The oncologist told me we would talk about it in June at my follow up. So I went in June, and he told me again that we would talk about it at my next follow up, in October 2009. When I went to my October appointment, I asked again and he told me that we would discuss it when I came back for my follow up appointment in February. I left his office in tears. I had been burned and poisoned and put through menopause symptoms at 36 years old and it seemed that my battle was not over yet! I just knew he thought that my battle wasn’t over yet. That there was a reason I had to keep this hunk of metal and plastic in my chest. That they were going to poison me again…I was so scared. It was about two months later I started attending Capital Christian. Mrs. Goodale told me about the healing prayer service, so even fighting another sinus infection that day, I was there. I have never in my life prayed in that manner or cried so hard. It was 2 days later that I had my follow up appointment with my oncologist. I was aftraid to ask about my port. But my husband did. And PRAISE THE LORD! He told me all my tests looked good and that I could finally have it removed. So I had my port removed in my doctors office on Thursday, February 18th. It was a great day and has given me a new hope and perspective on my life. The power of prayer is awesome and I don’t think that it is any coincidence that 2 days after that healing prayer service, I was finally able to move on with my life and leave this terrible disease behind. I am sure that when I go for my follow up in June I will get even better news, like I am in remission or even cured! All I know is that being able to have that port removed was the best message I ever received and a sign that I am not going to have to fight this horrible disease ever again! I won’t have to explain to my baby that Mommy is in too much pain, so I can’t hug you, or that no your hair won’t fall out if you get sick (boy thinking back on those conversations with my 3 year old still breaks my heart). All that is behind us! Praise the Lord!
When my daughter in law became pregant she had all the usual tests done. Then the Doctor told her one test showed the baby could be a downs sysdrome baby and they should be prepared for this. She considered aborting the baby. My son called crying, we all cried and talked about the situation. We decided to ask Pastor Dave to pray for this baby after chuch. Pastor Dave & Sherri and other members of church laid hands on her belly and Pastor Dave annointed her with oil and we prayed and prayed. We accepted God’s healing and believed it was done right then and there. Six months later, Luke was born a perfect healthy baby. Not a downs baby. Today at four years old Luke is very smart and full of life. We give the glory to God, we thank the Lord for taking care of little children.
Pastor Justin and his wife prayed for me during our first healing service. I went up for a slight cold I was fighting, but told him I needed prayer for my whole family including my horse. My daughter, Hana, had been completely healed from a gynecological condition, so I wanted to give PRAISE. She has also been dealing with had a thyroid condition and a goiter for a year and the doctor was speaking about radiation or surgery or both. For a year we have been believing God. Her last visit with her endocronologist, her blood test revealed a lessening production of iodine in her thyroid, and that thyroid production is changing into a regulatory state. It is no longer active. Blood test revealed that the T3 and T4 levels getting back to normal. The goiter has diminished quite a bit. We are believing for a TOTAL healing, it is on its way. Next I was believing for my daughter, Michele, who had had foot surgery in December. Her foot after surgery was fine, then oddly enough 2 month later it showed signs of infection. She sent the doctor pictures of her foot by email, it looked very swollen and discolored. Her surgery had taken place in Las Vegas. She was in Reno visiting, so she made an appointment with a Reno orthopedic, her foot had returned to normal but proceeded to see the doctor and got a clean bill of health. That was fast! Now, my son in law, had hurt his knee. He had an MRI, then he got ordered to take another MRI but with contrast, because they suspected a tear. He went to the doctors and was told he didn’t need surgery. PTL!!!!! For my husband I prayed for of encouragement Pator Justin prayed that Bob would be reinvigorated in the Lord, and he has. Now, I asked pastor to pray for my horse. Sorry this is long, but praise and testimony is sooooo good. When you called for the man with the pain in his jaw, I thought of my horse. My horse, Bo Rap, had a tooth abscess. He was on antibiotics longer than a month. The medicine seemed to suppress the infection but it kept coming back. A lot of discharge out of his nose. The horse couldn’t eat due to pain. He lost approximately 250-300lbs. Just skin and bones. I was back and forth with the veterinarian and he concluded that he would need more diagnostics and possibly a trip to UC Davis for an MRI. During the night, the Holy Spirit woke me up and I felt that he asked me, “have you done all you can do?, and why go to the phone and not the throne”? I know that sounds crazy, but I rather err on the side of being obedient than not. My horse is 22 years old, diabetic, and the vet and I had even discussed euthanasia if we couldn’t get this infection under control. I knew I had to have some boundaries because there is no health insurance on this horse, so needless to say it was getting out of control($$$). I believe that the Holy Spirit told me to get a water bottle, mix a solution of salt and warm water, and with a turkey baster rinse his mouth out daily, (still doing it). Just like the dentists have instructed me to do on occasion. After about a week or so, I noticed that he quit spitting out his hay when he ate. Now we are going on the third week. He is putting on weight. His eyes are bright. He is happy, and just full of it. The best part of this story….I thought the next time I’d put him in my trailer would be to take him to be put down. BUT GOD!!!!! Instead I got to go on a very enjoyable trail ride to Washoe Lake. God is concerned about the things that concern me. Prov 12:10 says A righteous man regards the life of his beast….He is on his way too. Praise Be to God and for a church that believes in healing. WOW! Margie
When I didn’t make it to the first healing service, I was rather disappointed with myself. I had been preparing myself for healing against fear, anxiety and depression all week long. Pastor Sue has urged me to step up my intensity in reading the Word and spending time in my prayer language. I had followed her advise during the next few days. THe evening before, I had a wonderful time in the presence of the Holy Spirit. I went to bed excited and expectent that the next morning would be a day of praise and thanksgiving to my Lord. However, I never made it there. I woke up feeling like I missed my chance to meet Him that morning. I berated myself for a while, until I caught my inaccurate thinking. I met Hm in my room last night with sincere praise and thanksgiving. I gave Him all of my baggage right there in the alter of my bedroom. I stopped listnening to the deciever that day and praised God for his healing instead.
Life continued on. My husbands job was endangered of being chopped. Over-time was taken away from our pay checks. Our meager income no longer paid all of the bills. I just kept professing that God was our sole provider. Mean while, another family friend and her grandson moved in with us and needed physical and emotional support. We chose to look on the positives in the situation. It was difficult to navigate the days and weeks with 7 of us sharing 3 bedrooms. But we kept ourselves in the Word and in prayer. Then the washing maching broke down and it was going to either need an expensive repair, or need to be replaced. Financially, there wasn’t money for either option. Now I was feeling a bit overwhelmed. That feeling would usually put me in a state of sleeping away the pain or tuning out with the TV. I chose to pull out my Bible. I was heading for a Psalms, instead I opened of to Proverbs 3:3-5. ” Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not on your own understanding, but acknowledge him in all that you do, and he will make your paths straight.” I must have said that verse to myself 40 times that day. When ever fearful thoughts sprang out on me I said to myself, “No, I choose to trust in the Lord……” By the end of the day I felt peaceful that God had it all under control. He did too. The repair man talked to the owner and he offered to deliver us an exact re-furbished model of the washer we had. They let us pay what ever little we could, then we could make small payments until it is payed off. The Lord has blessed us with so much for trusting him. He has sent us grocery money, gas for our car and much, much more. By last weeks healing service, I realized that through all of the difficult circomstance and more, that I was able to go through them without one anxiety attack or debilitating episode of depression. Praise God! He has taken a lifetime of bondage away from me, and I AM FREE!!!
Last week I went forward for prayer on my body. I’ve suffered form fibromyalgia since 1997. If you aren’t familiar with Fibromyalgia, it is a painful chonic fatigue syndrome. It can be quite debilatating. Sunday, I came expecting healing. At first, I just noticed a sense of peace and a release of tension in my shoulders. As the week has gone on, I have noticed that I have more energy than I’ve had in years. I’m waking up earlier, and accomplishing much more during the day. Today I realized that I don’t have this mental fogginess that has plagued me for years. I’m still having some aches and pains, but it feels more like normal “out-of-shape” pains than the ones that make me want to crawl into bed and give up. I am happy with the change is doing in me. I want to tell everyone what an awesome God he is!!! He will finish His good work in me. Thank you CCC for believing in God’s awesome Power! Ane’
The first thing I want to do is give thanks for all of the blessings that I have been given. God has kept me and my family healthy and we have not had any major health issues. The main way in which God has blessed me is financially. I recently completed my associates degree at an online college and was paying them $50-$75 per month to pay off their portion of the student loans that I have accrued. My other loans won’t come due until six months after I finish my schooling.
I had submitted my Federal student aid form for my sophomore year and about 3 weeks later, I was told that my funding would cover all of my loans, plus have over $4,000 extra that I could have issued to me if I wanted it. After thinking about it I decided to accept the money which would be distributed in various increments about every 5-6 weeks.
After receiving the first payment in March, I immediately went online and tithed ten percent off of the top. I remember a message by Pastor Dave about Cain and Abel and how God was pleased with Abel because he gave God an offering of the best of his flock before he took any for himself, whereas Cain took the best of the crop for himself first and gave God an offering out of what was left. This displeased God.
I was explaining this principal to someone else when you might say I had a “lightbulb” moment. Ever since then I have used Thinkccc to give God his share first. That way if I get paid on a Monday I don’t have a chance to spend His portion before Sunday rolls around.
I have also received bonuses at work, and a great tax refund that allowed me to purchase a new washer and dryer and get laminate flooring done in my dining room. With each blessing, I continue to thank God and I always remember that without Him, none of this would have been possible.
I have been going to Capital Christian Center for about 3 1/2 years and when we first started going there my youngest son was 4 months old. When my son went to his 9 month check up the Dr was concerned about Noah’s soft spot not closing yet. Noah’s head was a little mis shaped the Dr looked and told me he needed Noah to be seen by a pediatric Neuroligist it might be a rare disorder to where the skull plates are running together. I have pictures of Noahs head and it really did look like something like that was going on with his skull. I was really worried. I brought Noah into Church and I asked Pastor Dave and Pastor Justin to pray for him. They put oil on Noahs head and prayed a powerful prayer. I went to the Neuroligist and they said he couldn’t even see why my Pediatrician sent him here his head was no longer mis-shaped. The Neuroligist said he is perfect!!!! I thank the Lord for this miracle in my life.
Last year at this time my son Scott and I were caring for my husband Ron, who had terminal cancer. He went home to be with the Lord in June. At the same time, I was having my own private battle with non-invasive cancer and was undergoing radiation therapy. This year, my doctors feared my cancer was back and treatment would need to begin again. I went to a healing service at Capital Christian, and was also being prayed for by my home church here, my church in Louisiana, and my professors at New Orleans Baptist Seminary. God is good, and miracles do happen. My doctor called last night, and I am healed. Praise God. I asked Christ to be my Lord and Savior at the age of nine, and my faith has grown steadily over the last 57 years. Jesus never fails. If you do not yet have a real, personal relationship with Jesus Christ, I urge you today to talk with your pastor or a Christian friend who will pray with you through this process.
Blessings in Christ,
Shirley Harris
I requsted prayers for healing for my son Isaiah on 2/28/2010, I also asked for healing prayers during the past 2 healing services. I was told my son Isaiah may be deaf the week of 2/21. I took Isaiah to a Doctor in a Reno April 6th and was told 1 ear was a little red and just had extra wax in it. They were still concerned with the other ear. I took him to his primary Physician on April 13th and was told Isaiah just has 2 ear infections. Isaiah has never acted like his ears hurt. And today reacts to all sounds! He did not respond to sounds when I first started asking for healing prayers!
Last week, I started a new job. (answer to prayer)
I’m in my fifties. Needless to say, the old girl has broken down a bit.
I have a varicose vein on my knee that has been there since my children were born in the ’70′s, As I’ve gotten older, it has gotten larger and is sometimes irritated.
Since beginning the new job, which requires getting in and out of my truck a great deal, as well as walking, it had gotten very inflamed, swollen and painful.
I prayed about off and on, but mostly tried to ignore it. In my down time, I would put my leg up and rest it, but it was very painful
Yesterday at the Mother’s Day service, I casually reminded Him how much it was bothering me, then went on worshipping. Suddenly, the pain was gone! Totally and completely gone! When I got home, I checked my knee. All the swelling was gone.
Praise the Lord! He is so awesome!
When I first came to Capitol Christian Center (CCC) I was a very hurt, broken and angry person. I even wondered if CCC would let me attend let alone join this body of Christ. I was recently divorced and had a shattered relationship with all of my many children, tried to re-marry to fix things but I just got worse, divorced again, a business in trouble and I soon despaired that there was no hope for me.
I met with Pastor Dave and he encouraged me to keep seeking God, attend church on a regular basis and that CCC was for “less than perfect” people. Soon after Pastor Stan’s messages about a right relationship with God and other “less than perfect” people started to unthaw my cold and angry heart. Slowly over a years time God performed a miracle in my life:
• Reconciling & remarrying my wife and our 8 children
• My small business not only survived the recent economic recession but grew!
(Due to an obeying God through tithing)
• Healing and protecting me from a potentially devastating skiing accident involving a rather large Douglas Fir
God is faithful when He said:
Bless be the Lord…
Who forgives all your iniquities
Who heals all your diseases
Who redeems your life from destruction
Who crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercies…
Psalm 103:2-4
Praise God and thanks for the faithful and supportive staff and believers at CCC!

A little over a week ago, I was in Pastor Jake’s class on a Wednesday evening. He had been teaching about the Holy Spirit and that night we were going to spend the evening in prayer and open ourselves up to Him.
As I began to speak in my prayer language, I had a vision of my boss coming into my office and giving me a promotion. When we were done for the evening, I told the class what I had seen.
The next day was Thursday. At about 10:30 my boss came in and started chatting with me. She then asked me if I would be willing to conduct the webinars for the company. I said that Yes, I would love it. She then explained to me that I would earn commission off of any sales that were generated from the webinars.
This could definitely be considered a step up. I would be able to increase my income depending on how well I did and the interest that was generated.
As soon as she left my office, I thanked God for this new opportunity.
My name is Jessica Grant and I have been a partner at Capital Christian for approximately 5 years. I would like to share with you how my life has changed since the first day I came to Capital Christian Center. If you would have seen me that first Sunday you would have thought that I was a woman who had it all together. Granted I am very blessed to have two beautiful boys and a loving husband, but inside I was completely messed up. You see I had been sexually assaulted and abused a couple of years before while I was a soldier in the US Army. I had rededicated my life to Christ and been baptized at a Church in Texas, but I was still broken and hurting inside. That very first message that I learned in our Church felt like it had been written just for me! I left Church that day feeling so energized and my spiritual tank was starting to fill up. However, I can tell you from personal experience that just attending Church on Sunday and watching from the sidelines will not fill up your spiritual tank. You need to get involved and plugged in. About a year after I started attending CCC I joined an Equip class called Godchicks. That class taught me the skills I needed to DEVELOP my relationship with Jesus Christ and allow him to heal me. The key word is to DEVELOP my relationship with Christ. I have learned that I could not heal myself on my own strength I needed God to heal me! I also learned that you need a strong Church family behind you! I have learned that the puzzle pieces needed for life are, a growing relationship with Jesus and a strong Church family. If you have one without the other your spiritual tank will be depleted very quickly. I could have learned the lessons from Pastor and then stopped coming when things got hard. The problem with that is I would not have grown and got stuck in a rut. If I would have stopped coming when the going got tough, I would have missed out on the blessing and the lessons God had for my life. Get planted in an Equip class and don’t stop coming when you learn something tough to swallow. Don’t stop coming when the enemy throws a road block your way. Don’t stop coming when someone offends you. Get planted and allow God to change and mold your life to what he wants it to be. Know that what he wants for you might be very different than you want but you need to be obedient and listen. Approach each obstacle as a lesson God is teaching you no matter how difficult. I pray that what I have learned will bless your life!! I am looking forward to seeing you at the Center
THIS CHURCH IS TRUELY A BLESSING FROM GOD THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO DOES GODS WORK HERE I LOVE YOU ALL FROM MY HEART.
T HANK YOU PRAYER TEAM ROBYN IS RESPONDING DAILY WOUT BRAIN DAMAGE FROM COMA AND MY ISSUES HAVE BEEN RELEASED FOR 3 WKS NOW GLORY BE TO GOD GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND THANKS!!!
Hello, i am a 18 year old male from carson city. i started going to church because my life was going down hill fast. Gad saved me recently when i was 17 in juviniel hall. he came into my life and spoke to me and told me to become the person i really am. i have a drug and alcohol problem and without god in my life i dont know what i would have done. I got involed in gangs and had a son at the same time. now i am planing to join the U.S. Army to defend my country and to show younger teens that it is not too late to change. thank you for lisenting,
After a couple of clutzy falls, my mid-back was hurtingreally bad. The pain would wake me up throughout the night and stopped me from being able to work or attend classes. After about two months, several doctors appointments, and a lot of Vicoden, I was fed up. I went forward for prayer with Sandy and Sharon and we prayed that my healing would speed up. I had at least one bruised rib, which can take up to a year to heal. Since that day, I have had little pain and now I don’t even think about it. No more pain meds, no more sleepless nights. God did not only speed up my healing. He took the pain away entirely. Praise Him!!
I would like to share a testimony of dreams to those whose dreams have been stolen. Pastor Friend’s story about the rattlesnake in today’s sermon prompted me to share my story.
I began having nightmares as a small girl. I really don’t even know when they began. I had to sleep in a basement isolated from the rest of my family and being that I am the fifth out of six kids and the house had only two bedrooms, the basement was where my room was made along with my two older brothers. They were on one side, I was on another. It was lonely and cold. There were little windows at the top of the concrete walls that allowed me to see only the top of the ground outside. Sometimes a beam of light might shine through. There were sixteen wooden steps that led back to the main floor of the house. They were my only escape, but when it was bedtime I could only turn to the comfort of my dolls and stuffed animals. They were what seemed to be my only protection from the shadows of the night and the nightmares that tormented me. My toys outlined as much of my body as possible when I lied down to sleep. Getting to sleep was a more than a difficulty. I would wake screaming and crying so often. My parents wouldn’t hear me, so my oldest brother would wake up and take me up the stairs to my parent’s room. Their response, well, that’s another testimony still in the making.
The nightmares I had included things like bears waiting to eat my family members that were stuck in the mud, footsteps on the stairs coming down from the attic, demons chasing me at an empty school, people with red eyes glaring at me, demons staring at me from the side of my bed, devils flying one after the other under my bed, members of my family murdering other family members in unimaginable ways, just to name some of them, AND snakes. I was tormented to say the least and this went on for years and years with some of the dreams reoccurring many times.
My most favorite place in the whole world was my grandma’s house. My aunt lived with her and the two of them loved me and showed me the affection I was so hungry for. Trouble was I was even more afraid of my grandma’s house than of my parent’s house. It was haunted, there were ghosts (demons) living in her very, very, dark and dingy basement. I could hear them walking up and down the steps even while I was awake. Dreams of my grandma’s house and the nightmares continued and lingered as I got older but they did start to subside and, oh yeah, the snake dreams they kept on.
Once when I was about 7 or 8 I was confronted by a harmless snake slithering across the grass at a house where I had to deliver a newspaper. The snake startled me so badly that I took off screaming, tears running down my cheeks and very much afraid. This might have been the starting point for the snake dreams, I really don’t know. I had dreams of being in snake pits mostly and just trying to find a way out and there never was one. Sometimes, someone would be taunting me to do something and if I refused I would be tossed into a snake pit. I never got bit, but I was still petrified that I would. It did seem as though the snakes tolerated me.
I was saved at the age of 31. I had been taught there was a God, but I didn’t know that he was and is a living God. After receiving the salvation of Christ I began to learn who I was which of course led me to who I now am. I began to learn of the authority given to us in his name and I began to exercise my rights in the spiritual realm. I began committing my dreams to God before I went to sleep and I have been having dreams of spiritual warfare for the past few years. I sometimes dream that I am spiritually translated to other parts of the country or the world to witness to others and have been available to lead others to Christ Jesus while I sleep. I have held hands with them and through prayer I have seen them come to Christ. After praying with one girl who wanted a baby she became pregnant. I know this to be a fact; she is my daughter’s friend.
Anyway, about six or eight months ago, I had a dream that I was in duplicity. I saw myself as an adult and next to me was myself as that little girl that was always terrified. We were standing next to a car which was parked next to a field of dead grass. I knew what was in that grass and before the little girl and I could get away that snake latched itself onto the little girl’s leg. The adult me took her hand and waited for that thing to loose itself. It did and then slithered away. I began quoting Mark 16:18 over that little girl and then laid her in the back seat of the car and began driving away. I knew in my spirit that she would remain well, just like the apostle Paul when he reached his hand into a pile of firewood and drew back with a viper attached to it and nothing happened to him. A couple of months after that I had another dream that I was alone and entering a small, dark cabin. I couldn’t see anything when I opened the door, but I knew immediately that there was a rattlesnake in there. I started to step back, but it was already too late. That thing lunged at me with such veracity and evil intent; it must have flown ten feet across the room with its fangs out ready for the kill. It hit me on my right forearm with so much force it should have been able to finish the job, but instead it knocked itself silly and fell to the floor. Ha Ha! That snake could not penetrate my skin. I walked away with victory-victory in our Lord Jesus. I knew he protected me because I have dared to believe the truth of his words.
A couple of months after that, I was awakened about 4 in the morning with God was speaking to me. He told me that just as Jacob wrestled with the angle for a night that I too have struggled with him and my blessing has now been released. The very next night I had another snake dream. I was pruning a white tree and once again, I sensed movement in the brush underneath and of course knew what it was. I set the pruning shears down and began to walk away when I heard God speak to me. He told me to stop and turn around. I did and there I saw one very large snake slithering around the bottom of the tree and one very small snake perched on a branch low to the ground. It had its head cocked and was looking straight at me. It spoke to me without moving its mouth. These were the words that I heard. “I can no longer touch you.” Praise be to God! He has delivered me!
This is just one of many testimonies I have acquired over the years. I don’t know if the enemy knew what the future held for me but, this is certainly a circumstance that can be attributed to how God brings about good from what the enemy means for harm and I know where my stand is as a result. I will cling to my father forever for I know the afflictions from which I have been delivered. I no longer have any fear in my dreams or my surroundings. Dreams of peace and love now replace the dreams of torment.
George and I were wondering if Pastor Stan would ever dig into Revelations for a series of sermons? Just a thought.
On Sunday, October 3rd, Pastor mentioned that he had felt that God was letting him know that people with neurological issues would be healed today. I have had epilepsy since I was two years old and I decided to seek healing to get rid of the condition and be able to come off of the medication.
During the healing, I came down and was prayed for. While I was being prayed for, I felt a warmth begin to radiate inside the right side of my head. Afterward, this warmth remained for the rest of the day. Part of the prayer was that I would be able to stop taking the medication that I am currently on to control the condition.
When I got home I went to take my noon time dose. I normally take 3 pills at noontime but I felt led to reduce that to two pills. I continued to take two pills at lunch with my other normal doses until Friday, October 8th. On that day, I felt that I needed to reduce the dose by another pill. I began that dose on Friday and have continued until today. So far I have had no seizures and, in fact, have been able to still feel that radiating warmth whenever I think about it.
My main struggle has been psychological. I have been on the medication for so long that my mind still thinks that I need it. Every time it starts to make me feel as if I need to increase the dose again, I simply pray out loud an thank God for the healing he has performed. THe feeling immediately goes away. I will keep this updated with the progress of my medication reduction and let everyone know how it’s going.
Thank you CCC for making these healing services available and thank you God for the healing in my life.

GOD IS SO GOOD! On Wednesday I decreased my dose by 1/2 a pill and am still doing Great! Also, many of you know that I have been separated since mid September and will be filing for a divorce soon. I have been doing well and appreciate all of your thoughts and concern.
I was wondering how I was going to make up for the loss of income and was considering taking a second job. I had even put in applications at Kohls and other places with no success. Meanwhile the bills kept coming.
Even though I am down to only one income, however, I have faithfully given my tithe online as soon as I got paid. That way I don’t have a chance to spend His portion.
Today, I opened my e-mail and learned that my financial aid more than covered my tuition and I will be getting a refund of between $600 to $1,000 a month for the next six months!!
God is so good and He is ALWAYS Right on Time!
Hello my name is Rebecca, I have been attending CCC for just over a year, after my second son Isaiah was born. I became a partner in June 2010. My son Isaiah was born premature and Doctors believed he was deaf. Pastor Friend and Pastor Jeremy prayed many healing prayers for Isaiah and today Isaiah has no hearing problems and is a strong healthy 1 year old boy! I just had my 3rd child Lalena. My pregnancy started out being very scarey to me after my preclampsia. I started showing signs of it right away. I attended every healing service, Pastor Connie, Pastor Justin and Melanie prayed with me. I gave birth to very healthy 10 pound 5 oz baby on October 15th.
I have been home with my baby girl for 2 weeks and have been overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of everyone from CCC. Meals were brought to my family daily for a week from many members of the church. I am just so Thankful My Lord brought me to CCC. This is the most amazing family I have ever been apart of. Thank you everyone for all your loving support.
love, Rebecca
I started and ran Capital Christian School 1994-1997 back when Rev. Bruce Murray was Senior Pastor. I showed up in 1993 by faith with my family. Taught at Reno Christian Academy for a half year 93-94, then they helped me package their program to be used at Carson City. I took the name Capital Christian School from when I had visited Sac.’s C.C.S.
I put a lot of my soul into the school those first few years
Some wondered how the school would ever make it.
It was Abraham Curry’s legacy in founding Carson City that inspired me to start the school. Isn’t it just like our God who likes to make something from nothing. Blessings, Larry
God is so Good to me. As Pastor Justin said, I have now reduced my meds from 9 down to 6 pills and I am about to take another step of faith and reduce by 1/2 more.
He has also blessed me financially even after my seperation from my husband. I had decided to take a second job for the holidays and got hired on at Michael’s Crafts. I worked for two days and at the beginning of my second week I received a call from them at 7:00 in the morning telling me that they were letting me go. No reason, nothing. I just simply smiled and said “OK” That was last week.
Today I received an offer from one of the attorney’s that Laughlin Associates, my current employer, works with. He mentioned that he would like me to act as Trustee on some of the Irrevocable trusts that he sets up. There would be no personal liability and I would be paid $250 per trust. This is income that I would be able to bill for annualy. This could potentially be a good source of income that will be residual as well. I can’t believe how good God is to me. I know that I don’t deserve it. He is absolutely amazing!!
I have been hesitant about putting my story on this site, just for privacy I suppose but, today I read Jeremiah 2:2 where it says I remember the loyalty of your youth how you followed Me in the wilderness. Beth Moore says One of the characteristics of a loving bride is her willingness to follow the groom to places that at times may seem like a wilderness. Our Bridegroom does sometimes lead us to difficult places, but we can trust Him to always have purpose in our stay and to never forsake us.
During my period with cancer I saw how many times God used this time for good. “All the moves He prompts are to give us a better qualiaty of life. Even when we follow Him into the wilderness, seeking Him more frequently than ever, He allows us to experience His fulfillment.” I now have a much better quality of life from following Him through this experience. I have relationships I never had before, a job that I love and a healed body and soul thanks to our giving and healing God. Praise Him.
MY NAME IS MARY, MY DAUGHTER AND I HAVE RECENTLY STARTED COMING TO CAPITAL CHRISTIAN CENTER BECAUSE ARE FAITH HAS BEEN TESTED BEYOND WHAT WE CAN HANDLE.

I recently took a leap of faith during the better to bigger campaign and decided to start with a pledge of $2500 over the next two years. I wasn’t sure where the extra $100 per month was going to come from but I acted on faith. The week after I gave the first offering, I began to receive supplemental income from performing an extra duty through my workplace. This service would pay me $125 per occurrence but for now it is very sporadic. Still, it was an increase.
Then yesterday I received a promotion into the accounting department at Laughlin Associates. This is a job I have wanted for Three years and was never able to get into. The job will come with a salary increase and I will have the potential to receive a further increase in six months if I perform the job well and can take on more responsibility. God is so good! Now, my main prayer is that He will give me the wisdom and ability to perform my new task with superiour efficiency and that through Him I can excel at this new task.
